The comment could be better positioned. The bit:
/* if ERR_MEM, we wait for sent_tcp or poll_tcp to be called

applies to the previous block.

The bit:
on other errors we don't try writing any more */
applies to the block the comment is presently in.

If tcp_enqueue returns ERR_MEM, the present code is correct - it is not a
fatal error, it just means that it should be retried and the . The netconn
layer will do this as a result of its sent_tcp() and poll_tcp() callbacks.
The calling thread will only be woken up when the data really is sent, or
there _is_ a fatal error.
